An Image Sensor With Fast Objects’ Positions Extraction Function
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a kind of vision chip, which is an integration of an image processing circuit with photo receptors, that has a function of extracting objects’ positions in focal plane. The objects’ positions are output as their coordinates, which are useful for further detailed image recognition processing. The extraction processing has two steps; first, the flags indicating the objects’ center positions are generated by analog parallel processing circuit implemented by resistive network and comparators, and next, the coordinates of such flags are generated by and -priority encoders and a novel successive masking circuit. The designed circuit is capable of centroid detection for 23 23 pixels within 50 s, and the processing time is expected not to increase so much even if the number of pixels increases, which will represent an improvement over the conventional processor-based image processing system. We also proposed and evaluated another implementation of a centroid detector using pulse-width adder.

متن کاملConveyor Visual Tracking using Robot Vision
Robot conveyor tracking is a task in which a robot follows and obtains objects on a conveyor belt. Prior to obtaining an object from an automation line, a robot needs information about the object, such as its position, orientation, velocity, size, etc. Compared to ultrasonic sensors and infrared ray sensors, vision sensors can provide more information about the object on the conveyor belts. Gen...
